Overview
- League executives told The Athletic they expect Philadelphia to send A.J. Brown to New England once the post–June 1 window opens.
- The post–June 1 timing would drop the Eagles’ dead-money charge from more than $40 million to under $20 million.
- The acquiring team would assume Brown’s $29 million salary for 2026 along with about $4 million guaranteed in 2027.
- New England is viewed as a strong fit because it still lacks a true No. 1 receiver and Brown has a prior connection to coach Mike Vrabel from Tennessee.
- No agreement has been announced, and executives say compensation talks remain unresolved until the cap math eases in June.
